YouTube Rewind 2015: YouTube Creates Music Video With Biggest Events, Trends of 2015
YouTube is attempting to recreate all of the big moments of 2015 in a six-minute music video. The video features different songs, dances and many cameos from various trending people of 2015.
The YouTube Rewind 2015 was released Wednesday. In the video, there are many references to songs, dances and events that happened in 2015.
The video starts of with an X-Ray image of a girl dancing. After exiting the X-Ray machine, she jumps into a giant ball pit that displays the YouTube Rewind logo.
Song and dance continue and the first theme is shown with a rainbow colored mural designed to signify the "Love Has No Labels" movement.
The girl jumping into the giant ball pit with some friends is related to the "Crazy Plastic Ball Prank Video" that has been viewed over 56 million times. In the video, a man fills up his entire house with plastic balls and surprises his wife.
After a group dancing scene on the beach, a group of people perform the popular "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)" in a school gym. They go through the 1925 style of clothing to 1955 to 1965 to 1985 and then to 2015.
The next scene features a party bus with more dancing. Aboard the bus is the strange blowup shark from the Super Bowl Halftime Show with Katy Perry.
There is a brief scene with a man holding up a sign saying "Will you marry me? Day 365." This is referencing the 365 Day Marriage proposal video that has been viewed over 26 million times.
Then, there is a scene in several languages for the "Yesterday you said tomorrow! So just do it!" motivational videos by Shia LaBeouf.
Even the New York pizza-eating rat makes an appearance in the video as things turn darker in a seedy apartment.
Things turn bright again with some lip-syncing and dance battles. These lip-sync battles are referencing the extremely popular clips from "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon."
There is a "Back to the Future" reference when a boy and girl flash back to 2005, and some of the popular videos from that year are referenced as well like the Mentos and Coca-Cola experiment.
The video ends in the present time with the original girl back in the ball pit remembering all of the great times of 2015.
Later this week, we will be compiling a list of the most popular YouTube videos and YouTube users. Stay tuned.
